Lakers

Basketball, now there’s a sport. And the Celtics and Lakers are treating us to another gem of a Finals to remind us of how good America’s game can be. You have to be impressed with Los Lakers. they have size, quickness and youth on their side. The celtics have youth (Rajon Rondo is 24) talent (Ray Allen hit 8 treys last night setting a playoff record) and hustle. I am not concerned that Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnet contributed so little to the cause last night. The Lakers forced the Celtics out of their comfy spot and the team responded. Whether this can last five more games for either side is a good question but I look forward to the contests. This game can be beautiful when played well and right now it’s about as good as it gets.
